Associazione Futurista Italiana

The Associazione Futurista Italiana was an organization founded in 1918 by Italian artists, writers, and intellectuals to promote Futurism, an innovative artistic and cultural movement. Futurism celebrated modern technology, speed, youth, and industrial progress, often challenging traditional artistic conventions. The association aimed to unify Futurist ideas across Italy, encouraging experimentation in visual arts, literature, and other creative fields. It played a significant role in shaping early 20th-century Italian cultural identity, emphasizing dynamism and a forward-looking vision of society. The organization helped spread Futurist principles nationally and internationally during its active years.
